So I bought the new album the other day at a indie record store that has no regard for release dates, let me tell you right now, this is without any shadow of a doubt their best record since "1984." Now I am not one to buy into the hype when a new record come out and people automatically go "this is their best record" or "its the best one since ..." but let me tell you right now...It is fucking awesome. I can honestly say after 3 days of constant listening that it is better than every Van Halen record besides Van Halen 1 and "1984". The riffs are killer, the solos are amazing, David Lee Roth is maybe not at his best, but damn near close. Wolfgang brings youthfulness and energy to the mix, they really nailed it here. It is without a doubt the best record by a non original Van Halen line up. It blows the Hagar and Cherone stuff out of the water, and gives a lot of the original Roth stuff a run for its money.

I loved the album! Damn we needed an album like that! To me it's definitely the best rock album of the last 10 years!

Love she's the woman, you and your blues, China town, Tattoo, damn i love every song really. Classic Album!

yeah I really like it.

They sure are charging a lot for it though, $14.99? pretty much around the board. I was expecting a $9.99 sale price for the first week, I'm sure that will hurt album sales, but it should still do at least 100,000-200,000 the first week.

I don't think charging more than 10 bucks in the first week is a realistic approach to trying to sell records to young people in 2012.

It was 9.99 at Best Buy. Reg price is 11.99. I didnt bother with the "deluxe" version. Why pay an extra 5 bucks for something that will be on youtube? Great album. Blood and Fire is my fav track at the moment.
